Are people on eBay completely mad....?

The answer to that somewhat-rhetorical question is, of course, yes.
An old LGB 55020 decoder chip has just finished on eBay for over 46 quid!

Are eBay buyers totally bonkers, or just badly informed? You can get a brand-new Massoth L, which does exactly the same job but better, for less than that....
I recently sold a 55020 on the sales forum here for around £20, which I think is a fair price for it as a low-cost chipping job on something like a Stainz or Schoema (and I have another one going spare that I'll put up here soon, at the same sort of price) - maybe I should have eBayed it instead, but I really don't like taking advantage of the gullible.... ;)

Yes some buyers are simply mad, ill informed or just don't bother to check the market price. I bet the seller is happy!

On the other hand, I just won an N gauge loco offered as "new" for £14.50 inc. postage. It was mis-listed. Gaugemaster want £109 for one (yeah I know they're top whack but it sounds better! Elsewhere I can get one for 72 euros + PnP). We shall see what it's like when it arrives.
